📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In another medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Do not overmix.

5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

7. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8. To make the cream cheese glaze, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.

9. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat, then add the milk and vanilla extract until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.

10. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides of the bundt cake for a decorative finish.

11. Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
